Yes, well I thought of that, but can you explain why some accounts which are present in both users' registry have different numbers??? Given that TB! is clearly a multi-user application, wouldn't it be a good idea for them to support Windows' capability? Personally, I've never understood the fascination Windows software has with the Registry. What on earth is wrong with properties files? If you give the user a choice where to store them, then proper backups are a breeze and multi-user setups are simple. -- Cheers, Allister :flag-newzealand: New Zealand / Aotearoa ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
